About This E-Rated Property
This semi-detached house is located in LEYBURN, DL8 3HQ. The property offers 176m² (1894 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property has an EPC rating of E (40/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (63/100). This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used. Heat pumps are eligible for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, making them increasingly popular for UK homes seeking to reduce carbon emissions. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £3440, comprising £3050 for heating, £280 for hot water, and £110 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
